Cursed by a Rabbit Plague.

From time to time statements have appeared
Australian fields by rabbits. James NJ. Morgan
United States Consul General at Melbourne,
in paper to the Department of State Oh '.The
Rabbit Pest in Victoria,' confirms these state
mcnts and says: "Whie it would be difficult to
ascertain the estimated damages by rabbits. it
may be safely stated that during the last ten
years the loss caused by the pest through de-
crease III carrying capabilities of land, destruct-
ION to crops. loss of rent. &c.. would amount to
at least f3,OOO,OOO sterling. The rabbit which
has caused all this damage is the common gray
variety Of wild rabbit. 1t was introduced in
Victoria in 1850 for the purpose of sport.
In speech in the Colonial Parliament ii was
shown that one section of about II 00O, 900 acres
where few years ago smiling homesteads, fine
orchards and all evidences of prosperity. were
to be seen had been rendered almost useless
and uninlabitable. Large sums of money have
been expended by private citizens, municipal
and district authorities to eXtcrminate the pest
but with only partial success. The chief meth
DDS employed have been trapping and spread
ing of phosphorZed oats and wheat and arsenic.
Trapping is reported slow and expensive. while
the rabbits in many instances will not eat the
poisoned food or are unaffected by it. About
800 miles of rabbit-proof wire net fencing have
also been erected in Victoria at cost of about
ESQ per mile. Rewards have been offered by
councils for rabbits skins, and payments have
been made for about 1j7 900 dozens of skins.
In one district from 10000 to 1,0O0,O0O rabbits
have been purchased at cost of IS. Cd. per doz-
en-. As to the remarkable fecundity of rabbits.
MIR. Morgan says: sit can be asserted on good
grounds that one pair of rabbit will. under the
most favorable circumstances (that is, country
consisting of sand hills, pine ridges and scrub
increase in two and half years to the enor-
nous number of 1000 0OO.''

do not think there is any constitutional diff
ticulty in this bill.
So. then, without going at large into such
discussion, it is perfectly plain to my mind
with great respect to those who think other
wise, that The constitutional power of Congress
to devote money in the Treasury to this object
is perfectly clear; and | fully agree to what the
eloquent Senator from Massachusetts, Mr.
lloar, has said, as it regards the promotion of
the general welfare by the universally of edll-
cation as one of the three fundamental ele-
ments without which, in the long run. no gov
eminent of the people, and by the people, and
for the people, can long exist. Senator Ed
munds. Vermont.
That Congress may make gifts to the States
in aid of commOn-school and also of university
education is too well settled to admit of con-
troversy. This has been the practice from the
earliest period of our history. This practice
also settles that education of the people is in
the category of the general welfare of the
United States. l do not war against local self
government when l sustain measure which
tends to make that self-gOvernment safe and
respectable, and even possible, in some of the

do not add unduly to the powers of the
Federal Government when l vote for a bill
which has the sanction of precedents from the
earliest days to the present time, and which
gives no exclusive privileges to any, but con-
fers great boon on those who most need it,
the workers and toilers, by whose muscle, in
telligencc, and energy we have achieved the
grand material results of our present civiliza-

Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh In Its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object of
their lives to rid themselves of it, Deceptive rem
edies cOncOcted by ignorant pretenders to medical
knowledge have weakened the confidence of the
great majority of sufferers in all advertised RENE
dies They become resigned to a life of misery
rather than torture themselves with doubtful pal
Natives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting
affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated,
the throat so infamed and irritated as to produce
constant and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase Of
Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most lOath-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and con-
stitutional. Instant In relieving, permanent in

Mid flowers of varied hue,
Sheltered north by the peak OF the mountain
Stands cottage half hidden from view.
The orchard, the pride of the farmer
In the distance is seen from afar.
Approaching we find the boughs laden
With fruit, and the gates left ajar
We gaze on the trees in their splcnlor
With beautiful tintS not few,
And As we pass onward and upward
lie cottage appears to our view.
The cottage from out which the farmer
Went Willingly forth to his toll
Receiving reward for his labor
While cheerfully tilling the soil.
Whose hands ever pruning and @arnering.
Ever remembering the poor
W bile gathering the fruit, never doubling
That seed time and harvest are sure.
Where now are the hands and the strong arms ::
Laid quietly over the breast.
The sculplured marble will tell u>
They peacefully lie here at rest.
The cottage still stands in the orchard.
Though out from its walls have gone forth
The strength and the talent which many
Might envy. who knew of its worth.
Fair maidens with intellect beaming
Assuming with pleasure each care.
Some even with matronly cleaning
Now guiding the tender idea.
But the orchard still blooms ca the hillside
ON which MANY with gratitude looi,.
